ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is furnished pursuant to
"Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition," and is included under
this Item 9 in accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8216 and shall not be deemed
to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This
current report on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality
of any information in the report that is required to be disclosed solely by
Regulation FD.

In addition to the financial results determined in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the press release contains Non-GAAP
financial measures (as determined under the SEC Regulation G). Management
believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide an important perspective
on the Company's operating results and the Company's ability to service its
long-term obligations, to fund continuing growth, and to continue as a going
concern. The Company's earnings release contains a reconciliation of all
Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures.

On August 5, 2003, DRS Technologies, Inc. announced financial results for the
first quarter of fiscal 2004 ended June 30, 2003. The press release is furnished
as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form and is incorporated herein by reference.
